Trump rejects settling war with Iran, raises notion of eliminating all potential leaders
US President Donald Trump on March 7, 2026 raises the possibility of the war against Iran ending only once that country no longer has a functioning military or any remaining leadership in power. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he was not interested in negotiating with Iran at this point and later added the air campaign could make it a moot point if all potential leaders of Iran were killed and the Iranian military was destroyed. Trump's remarks came on a day of Israel and Iran trading numerous attacks as the Middle East war entered a second week. Iran's president apologized to neighboring states to cool anger across the Gulf but stirred criticism from hardliners at home.
